Windows 7: How to change 802.11b to 802.11n?

Hi. I just bought a new wireless adapter. It's CANYON CNP-WF511N2 Wireless N PCI Adapter. I put it in my computer and it works but in settings I can see that it's 802.11b. I want it to be 802.11n because it's faster. I've been searching for a whole day but I haven't found anything... Does any one of you guys have any idea what's wrong?

First question is, what speeds does your router support? If it doesn't support N speeds or if it does and isn't configured at that speed, then there is nothing to change in Windows or the adapters settings; it needs to be either changed in the router or a new router bought that supports N speeds.

OK, my router is ZTE F660. (I have optical fibre internet (maybe it's not called like that in english, idk)). The internet speed (wifi) is about 30Mb/s (on other devices, not my computer , on my computer it's 3-5Mb/s..)

When it doubt it helps to check the user manual (which is where both of those screen shots came from).

Where do I get this canyon control panel? There is a program in the CD but it doesn't install for Windows 7... I tried to install it using compatibility (Windows XP) and it did install but it didn't work... It said it couldn't find connection or something although I was connected to the internet.

By the way, if my router doesn't support N speeds, then I would at least like to change to G

Change default location for "Change Icon..." button?In Windows 7, all the good icons are in %SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll, but we're still taken to the old SHELL32.dll when it comes time to change an icon.
Is there a registry key or something that we can change to remedy this?
